Colorblind

My black and white life

Turned technicolor with your love

We kissed and the sky exploded

Gray clouds burst open,

Shooting sunbeams like lasers

Fiery shades of orange, red and pink

Coating the grayscale ground below

The oceans are swirling rainbows

Giving birth to baby rivers of gold

And lakes and streams where water flows

In magical mint shades of green

Waking up the grass in majestic purple shades

And the trees in brilliant blue

Everywhere I look, the world is new

Brazen and bold and bright

Beautiful

Just like you and me

Night falls and shining diamonds are stars

Moonbeams like pearl rays

Shine on us like a spotlight

We're dancing on golden streets

Spinning with prisms of color and light

The world is magical

I never knew life could be this lovely

Until you leave

A switch is flipped

The symphony of colors goes silent

The earth returns to colorblind infancy

White clouds in gray skies

Black trees and gunmetal oceans

And its dismal and dreary

Now that I've seen the brilliance

The gray is unbearable

The gray is lonely and mean

Tears pool unnoticed

Drab as everything else

A spark on a blade gives me hope

A cut, there's color!

My blood is maroon

My blood is the only color remaining

In the grayscale world you left me in
